... and so it begins ...

gkrellmms brings in xmms. As long as it's not pulling in any xmms *plugins*,
this is probably OK. If it is, I don't even want to think about it, because
that way lies madness.

gkrellem-gkfreq does not specify 'or any later version', so is now no longer
distributable.

gkrellmoon does not specify 'or any later version', so is now no longer
distributable.

gkrellsun does not specify 'or any later version', so is now no longer
distributable.

gkrellweather does not specify 'or any later version', so is now no longer
distributable

At least both the sun and the moon are similarly encumbered.

So, four separate gkrellm plugins are now no longer distributable until
a) they change licenses
b) we remove the new gkrellm

Are we *sure* we want to ship a new gkrellm with the new license?
